We have building renovation that is refurbishing 80% of a building aiming for CS 2009. There will be some existing ventilation and cooling systems that (a) have primary plant that is being retained and changes to the secondary in-room equipment (b) are being retained exactly as they are today. Must we commission these existing systems?

The reference guide refers to "commissioning of energy related systems that "are installed as part of the project". That being said, I would probably suggest that you commission any system that is required to be upgraded for code reasons or if it is being adapted to meet other LEED requirements (OSA, efficiency, etc.).
